When you add/modify tape/robot configs in NetBackup then ltid has to be restarted on the media server you made the change on to pick up the changes.

RESTART

The control mode for a shared drive may not be the same on all hosts sharing the drive. This status indicates that ltid needs to be restarted. To determine what server need to be restarted, right-click the drive in the device monitor and select up. This will tell you what servers that ltid needs to be restarted.

You will know better than anybody else why this happened.
Somwthing in device config was changed without restarting ltid.

LTID needs to be manually restarted when doing any changes?
